Most aquarium stores I go carry them... Not cheap though.
Really, I've never seen em. Must be a North American based company that don't sell over here.

That's Texas holey rock, otherwise known as honeycomb limestone. Ideal stuff for African Rift Lake cichlids because it provides hiding spots as well as helping to buffer the water to make perameters better suited to their needs. It naturally looks like that, and is not manufactured by any specific company (like the ones that carve the holes in the rainbow rock).
No, not that dude.
We get that over here as well, or Ocean Rock as it tends to be labelled.
I was talking about these:
Amazing setups as usual Pitt. I'm very jealous!
Istanbul_Kop: THR and ocean rock are not the same. THR is specifically mined in Texas, ocean rock is from the ocean as the name implies.

Hey Pitt, the tanks look great, Ultra-clean and simple, I'm liking the look more and more. I espescially like the Multi tank. Are those the shells i sent you? Holy crap they're clean!
Thanks gang i appreciate the kindness sorry for not getting back soon i had the craps (stomach virus) sorry about the analogy..
Hey kop that rock is actually clay that was made to look like rock i got them from cichlid breeding web site i will send you the link in a PM i really like it and so do my Buffalo heads..
HISTORY LESSON as told to me from a professor..
THR aka Texas Holey Rock was initially from a reef millions of years ago when Texas was still covered by the Ocean and most of the Texas land was a reef.. so in a sense when you buy THR you are buying an old fossil that once was an ocean reef floor now found in caves in Texas.. I dont have any proof of this to substantiate this claim from the professor.. It came from a professor so its good enough for me.. :thm:
